Issues fixed

Errors at launch

Some users have reported that having ASCII characters in your Steam nickname will cause errors at launch.
Change your nickname to one with basic characters only[1]

Framerate locked to 24 FPS

CryEngine 3 may set the monitor's refresh rate to 24hz, resulting in choppy gameplay even if the internal GPU render shows a high FPS.
Use your monitor's manual refresh rate toggle to reset it to the desired FPS or try to change few things in system.cfg. Change part DX9 to DX11 and part fullscreen to 0. If you are running game in 1920:1080 or another than 1280:720 change the part about it in this config file.[2]
